Who is Rob Gronkowski? Meet Olivia Dunne's new friend and former NFL star

Olivia Dunne knows a thing or two about being in the news. While she has already made her mark as a gymnast, owing to TikTok, she is also a recognizable face outside the world of sports. Last week, the Louisiana State University gymnast was seen with some of the world's most famous celebrities at the 2023 Sports Illustrated (SI) Swimsuit Issue launch party. What became Internet’s obsession, however, was when Dunne hung out with SI model Camille Kostek, and her long-time boyfriend and former NFL star Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski is a former American football player who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons.

Dunne is known for turning everything she touches into gold. “I just wanna let the younger generation know, especially females, that you could have it all, you could be a great athlete, you could be a great student, you could do what you love and be a savvy businesswoman while doing it all,” Dunne said in the SI Swimsuit issue.

Rob Gronkowski and Camille Kostek

In 2015, Camille and Rob made their relationship public even though they’d met each other a few years back. The couple was in attendance at the 2023 edition of the SI Swimsuit Party. The latest issue features a spread of Olivia Dunne.

The Swimsuit Issue is published annually by Sports Illustrated. It features female fashion models, celebrities, and athletes wearing swimwear in various locales around the world. Camille Kostek has graced the magazine numerous times and was seen celebrating with Dunne at the event.

Sports Illustrated can’t get enough of Olivia Dunne

Praising Olivia’s talent, SI Swimsuit editor MJ Day said, “Usually being a D1 athlete, an all-academic and an industrious entrepreneur is enough to garner respect and accolades. But when you are Livvy Dunne (Olivia) and you also mix in being arrestingly beautiful, you unfortunately garner the ire and resentment of a certain niche population.”

Further defending Olivia’s stance, Day said, “The backlash she received for 'leveraging' her sexuality for endorsement dollars after the NIL restrictions were lifted is incorrect.”

"We are here to celebrate this incredible young woman and encourage the world to respect and applaud Livvy and her fellow athletes for owning the blood, sweat and tears that have fueled a lifetime of achievements," Day added.
